Road closures ahead of President Obama’s drive through Los Angeles were already underway early Thursday, with city crews blocking off areas of West Hollywood and downtown for the second and final day of his visit.

The president's motorcade has been crisscrossing L.A. as part of his West Coast tour, frustrating some commuters with road closures in already traffic-heavy areas of the city.

President Obama speaks at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College on July 24.

Obama's arrival on Wednesday quickly prompted a round of griping on social media, accompanied by two common hashtags on local social media: #Obamatraffic and #ThanksObama. Bus delays caused by the presidential motorcade also reportedly delayed a woman going into labor from getting to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Here's a look at what L.A. commuters have to look forward to on the final day of Obama's visit:

From 4 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, the area around Beverly Boulevard and Doheny Drive will be affected by the president’s motorcade, along with the area around Grand Avenue and West Washington Boulevard in downtown, according to Los Angeles police.

Obama is scheduled to be in the Pacific Palisades area of Sunset Boulevard and Mandeville Canyon Road between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., then Brentwood between 10 a.m. and noon.

From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the president is to be at Exposition Park, and near Figueroa Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, prompting the following closures:

Thursday’s closures may be just a preview of a potentially bigger headache through the weekend -- the “Century Crunch” road closure near Los Angeles International Airport is expected to divert tens of thousands of drivers Friday to Sunday.

President Obama delivered a tough-love talk to his biggest boosters Wednesday, telling Democratic donors gathered in Los Angeles that they need to step it up before November if he’s going to get much done in his last two years in office.

The California attorney general’s office has asked the state Supreme Court to depublish a controversial ruling that it argues will impede the state's ability to encourage conservation by charging people higher rates when they use excessive amounts of water.

A Los Angeles Department of Water and Power audio-visual technician was charged Thursday with misappropriating more than $4 million in public funds, creating another financial scandal for a city-owned utility that is about to request permission to raise rates.

One of the financial lifelines of California's bullet train project has been $3.2 billion in federal grants. But a provision included in a key transportation funding bill passed by the House of Representatives on Tuesday could place a roadblock on future federal payouts.

Even as California's leaders prepare a new state budget that is flush with cash, Gov. Jerry Brown has increasingly raised the specter of another recession that could undo years of hard-won financial progress.
